    Twitter reactions: Clinical India thrash England in Mumbai T20I to clinch the series 4-1

    India delivered a dominant performance in the fifth and final T20I against England at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, securing a massive 150-run victory to seal the series 4-1. Batting first, India posted a mammoth total of 247/9, courtesy of a breathtaking 135 off 54 balls from Abhishek Sharma. England, in response, faltered under the pressure of a record chase and were bundled out for just 97 in 10.3 overs, with Mohammed Shami, Shivam Dube and Abhishek starring with the ball. The emphatic win showcased India’s superior firepower and tactical acumen, leaving England with no answers to the hosts’ aggressive approach.

    Abhishek Sharma’s carnage and India’s explosive batting display

    Put in to bat, India got off to a brisk start despite losing Sanju Samson early for 16. The stage was then taken over by Abhishek, who produced a sensational knock, hammering 135 runs off just 54 balls, laced with seven fours and 13 sixes. His blistering strike rate of 250 kept England bowlers on the back foot as he single-handedly dominated the innings. Tilak Varma (24 off 15) played a brief supporting role before Dube (30 off 13) added further impetus to the total. The middle and lower order could not contribute significantly, but India’s aggressive approach ensured they amassed a formidable 247/9 in 20 overs. England’s bowlers struggled, with Brydon Carse (3/38) being the only standout performer amid the onslaught.

    England collapse under pressure in record chase

    Chasing a daunting target of 248, England had a promising start as Phil Salt blazed his way to a rapid 55 off 23 balls, striking seven boundaries and three sixes. However, his dismissal triggered a complete batting collapse, with wickets falling in quick succession. Shami (3/25) made early inroads, removing Ben Duckett and later wrapping up the tail. Varun Chakravarthy (2/25) and Dube (2/11) played crucial roles in dismantling England’s lineup.

    Harry Brook, Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone all failed to provide resistance, and England’s innings crumbled within 10.3 overs for a meager 97. The Indian bowlers executed their plans perfectly, ensuring an emphatic conclusion to a dominant series victory. With this win, India not only claimed the series 4-1 but also sent a strong message with their aggressive batting and disciplined bowling performances.

    Jos Buttler-led England National Cricket Team took on the Suryakumar Yadav-led India National Cricket Team in the fourth T20I of the five-match series on Friday, January 31.

    Jos Buttler’s Team England showcased a great fight in the match but lost by 15 runs at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. With this, they also lost the T20I series.

    England face defeat in a thrilling match

    For the first time in the series, Jos Buttler won the toss and England bowled first in the match. They were off to an exceptional start, reducing the hosts to 12/3.

    They picked two more quick wickets to reduce India to 79/5, but after that, they were taken to the cleaners by Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube. Eventually, they stopped India at 181/9.

    Chasing the target, Harry Brook and Ben Duckett played explosive innings. However, the poor performance from the rest of the batters meant that they were bowled out for 166 in 19.4 overs.

    We should have gone on to win the game – Jos Buttler

    Speaking at the post-match presentation, Jos Buttler lauded his players for starting off well in the match but was frustrated after ending up on the losing side.

    “We started brilliantly, taking wickets in the powerplay and we were in a great position at the end of the batting powerplay. We should have gone on to win the game,” Jos Buttler stated.

    Buttler added that dropping Shivam Dube was the big reason behind their defeat as the all-rounder slammed a brutal fifty. He said:

    “We did some really good things in the game. We dropped Dube first ball and he went to play a really good innings. With the bat, we were in a fantastic position and lost a couple of key wickets.”

    How did England perform in the previous T20I vs India?

    England emerged victorious by 26 runs in the third T20I against India in Rajkot. Batting first, the visitors posted a total of 171/9 in their 20 overs, which proved enough to win the match.

    Their innings began on a poor note as Phil Salt (5) was dismissed early. However, Ben Duckett smashed a quickfire 51 off 28 balls, including 7 boundaries and 2 maximums. Jos Buttler contributed with a valuable 24, before being dismissed by Varun Chakravarthy.

    Liam Livingstone (43) provided some fireworks, smashing 1 four and 5 sixes, but was dismissed by Pandya while trying to clear the long-on boundary. England’s lower order showed some good fight and contributions from Adil Rashid (10*) and Mark Wood (10*) helped the team reach 171/9.

    During the run chase, the Indian batting order struggled to get going. England’s bowlers struck at key moments, reducing India to 31/2 inside the first 4 overs.

    Adil Rashid dismissed in-form Tilak Varma, and Jamie Overton took the wickets of Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, and Mohammed Shami. With key wickets falling at regular intervals, India never looked in control and finished with a total of 145/9.

    Netizens go berserk as Ravi Bishnoi, Harshit Rana lead India to a series-clinching win over England in 4th T20I

    India registered a hard-fought 15-run victory over England in the fourth T20I at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, sealing the series 3-1 with one match to spare. After posting 181/9, India’s bowlers, led by Ravi Bishnoi and debutant Harshit Rana, delivered a clinical performance to bowl out England for 166 in 19.4 overs. This win marked India’s 17th consecutive T20I series triumph at home, further reinforcing their dominance in the shortest format. Notably, Harshit was introduced as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube in the second innings, a move that proved decisive in India’s favour.

    Shivam Dube and Hardik Pandya’s counterattack rescues India from top-order collapse

    India’s batting innings began on a disastrous note, with the hosts reeling at 12/3 within two overs. Saqib Mahmood’s triple strike sent Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav back to the pavilion for ducks, while Sanju Samson managed just one run before perishing. However, Abhishek Sharma and Rinku Singh attempted a partial recovery before the duo of Dube and Hardik Pandya turned the tide. Dube’s 53 off 34 balls, featuring seven fours and two sixes, provided much-needed stability, while Pandya’s explosive 53 off 30 balls, laced with four fours and four sixes, ensured India reached a competitive 181/9 despite losing wickets at regular intervals.

However, Bishnoi’s twin strikes removed Duckett and captain Jos Buttler in quick succession, putting India back in control. Harry Brook fought back with a blistering 51 off 26 balls, but wickets continued to tumble at crucial junctures. Debutant Rana, brought in as a concussion substitute, made an instant impact by dismissing Liam Livingstone and Jacob Bethell, before cleaning up Jamie Overton to finish with 3/33. Varun Chakravarthy, Axar Patel and Arshdeep Singh also claimed crucial wickets, ensuring that England fell 15 runs short of the target.

  • ‘We should have got that one run’ – Disappointed Rohit Sharma reacts to dramatic tie against Sri Lanka in first ODI

    ‘We should have got that one run’ – Disappointed Rohit Sharma reacts to dramatic tie against Sri Lanka in first ODI

    India were on the verge of picking up a win against Sri Lanka in the first ODI of the series in Colombo. The visitors needed just one run in 15 balls and Shivam Dube was on strike, who failed to finish it off. Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka trapped Dube, who was bamboozled as the ball went to hit his pads. The on-field umpire gave not-out but a review was taken, which sent Dube back to the pavilion.

    Arshdeep Singh replaced him in the middle who too was trapped by Asalanka. The youngster tried to sweep but the ball went onto his leg. The umpire raised his finger immediately and Sri Lanka players were elated after pulling off a draw. India captain Rohit Sharma meanwhile was disappointed and believed that they should have chased it down. Chasing 231 runs, the captain made 58 runs and gave the team a good start but there wasn’t any significant contribution from the middle-order batters, which led to the draw.

    After the game, Rohit stated that the score was gettable and the players batted well in patches. He was happy with the effort that was put in by the players but was equally disappointed for not being able to cross the finishing line.

    “The score was gettable, just that you had to bat well to get there. We batted well in patches. Disappointed to not get 1 run with 14 balls, but won’t read (into it) too much. The bite was there at the start and then the ball became softer as the seam wore off. It was not a game where you can play your shots, [you] had to apply yourself and dig in. Proud of how we fought, it was important to hold our nerve. But we should have got that one run,” Rohit said in the post-match presentation.

    India’s batting performance and thrilling tie

    India began their chase with a strong start as captain Rohit Sharma played a blistering innings of 58 from 47 balls, including seven fours and three sixes. However, Shubman Gill struggled and was dismissed for 16 off 35 balls by Wellalage, with Kusal Mendis taking a catch off a top edge. Rohit was also dismissed by Wellalage, who trapped him in front of the stumps. Washington Sundar, promoted to number four, could not make an impact and was dismissed for 5 off 4 balls by Akila Dananjaya, leaving India at 87/3 after 15.4 overs.

    A 43-run partnership between Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer briefly steadied the innings, but the game took a turn when both Kohli (24 off 32) and Iyer (23 off 23) were dismissed, leaving India at 132/5 after 24.2 overs. With the match finely poised, KL Rahul and Axar Patel added a crucial 57-run stand for the sixth wicket off 94 balls. Nevertheless, another twist took place as both Rahul (31 off 43) and Patel (33 off 57) were dismissed in quick succession, leaving India in a precarious position. Shivam Dube played a crucial innings of 25 runs, helping India level the score with the hosts.

    Earlier, Sri Lanka’s innings began poorly with Mohammed Siraj (1/36 in 8 overs) dismissing Avishka Fernando early. Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka attempted to rebuild, but their partnership was short-lived as Dube (1/19 in 4 overs) dismissed Mendis lbw in the 14th over. This wicket led to a collapse, with Sri Lanka’s middle order struggling against India’s spin trio.

    Patel (2/33), Kuldeep Yadav (1/33) and Washington Sundar (1/46 in 9 overs) dismissed Sadeera Samarawickrama (8 off 18), Charith Asalanka (14 off 21) and Pathum Nissanka (56 off 75), respectively. Sri Lanka were in dire straits at 101/5. Wellalage anchored the innings, forming vital partnerships with Janith Liyanage (20 off 26), Wanindu Hasaranga (24 off 35) and Akila Dananjaya (17 off 21). Wellalage’s unbeaten 67, including seven fours and two sixes, was instrumental in lifting Sri Lanka to a competitive total of 230/8. His remarkable innings marked his first ODI half-century and provided the backbone for Sri Lanka’s total.

    IND vs ZIM 2024: Shivam Dube replaces injured Nitish Reddy

    The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) named Shivam Dube as the replacement for the injured Nitish Reddy in the Indian squad for the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe.

    India are set to face Zimbabwe in a five-match T20I series next month, starting with the first game on July 6. All five matches are scheduled to be held at the Harare Sports Club. The BCCI recently announced a 15-member squad for the first assignment of the Indian team following the 2024 T20 World Cup. Shubman Gill has been given the responsibility of leading the side for the first time.

    The Punjab batter has several youngsters in the squad as most of the senior players have been rested. Nitish, who won the Emerging Player award in the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year, was among the four players who had received their maiden call-ups to the national team. However, in a heartbreaking turn of events, the Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder will have to vacate his position as he is nursing an undisclosed injury.

    Dube, who is currently plying his trade in the Indian team in the ongoing T20 World Cup, will be replacing Reddy in the side. The seam-bowling all-rounder’s experience will come in handy for Gill and Co.

    “The Men’s Selection Committee named Shivam Dube as replacement for the injured Nitish Reddy in India’s squad for the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe,” the BCCI wrote in its statement.

    Meanwhile, Reddy’s progress is going to be monitored by the BCCI Medical Team. The 21-year-old will be gutted for sure but he has age and talent on his side and will look to come back strongly from the injury and earn his place back in the Indian team in the future.

    India’s updated squad: Ꮪhubman Gill (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, Rinku Singh, Sanju Samson (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar, Tushar Deshpande, Shivam Dube.

  • Lack of all-rounders is a weakness for India: Sanjay Manjrekar

    Lack of all-rounders is a weakness for India: Sanjay Manjrekar

    Indian team has been grappling with the option of having multiple all-rounders in the team specifically at the ICC events. For a long period, Hardik Pandya has been the go-to all-rounder for the team and the team has failed to produce a similar weapon over the years. Axar Patel is being nurtured as the spinning all-rounder but he is mostly seen performing in Tests. 

    With T20 World Cup 2024 ringing bells, the Indian team has inducted Shivam Dube as another all-rounding option. But, Dube has hardly bowled recently, neither for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL nor for the Indian team. He was given the ball against Afghanistan in the T20I series in January and had done reasonably well. Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar took note of the aspect and exemplified Australia in producing ample all-rounders compared to India.

    Also Read: T20 World Cup 2024: Indian team unhappy with average facilities in New York

    “Lack of all-rounders is a bit of a weakness for Team India. If you look at Australia, their batters like Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, and Cameron Green can bowl four overs in a match. I think that’s why the Indian team has brought Shivam Dube into the side to mitigate the limitations that come with a lack of all-rounders,” said Manjrekar at Star Sports Press Room.

    “Yes, it’s a small weakness, and now with the impact substitute rule in the IPL, this problem might increase. We currently rely on specialist bowlers and batters, but in this World Cup, the team will need to make some adjustments, and someone will have to bowl at least two to three overs in a match,” he added.

    India eye domination in group stage of T20 World Cup 2024

    India are placed in Group A of the T20 World Cup 2024 with Pakistan as the other formidable opponent. Rohit Sharma and Co. will take on Ireland in their World Cup opener on June 5 in New York. Before the tournament opener, India will play a warm-up game against their Asian counterpart Bangladesh on June 1. The other teams in Group A are the United States of America and Canada.
